Sask. Premier Moe responds to Trudeau warning that CRA will come for carbon price payment

During a visit to Saskatoon, Sask., Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Premier Scott Moe last week that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is “rigorous” at getting the money it’s owed when it comes to collecting the federal carbon price on natural gas.

"Having an argument with CRA about not wanting to pay your taxes is not a position I want anyone to be in. Good luck with that, Premier Moe," Trudeau added at another press conference the following day.

On Saturday, Premier Moe responded to the prime minister’s comments on the Roy Green Show.

“It’s our position that we paid all the tax that is owed so the threat is not a threat at all,” Moe said. “(The) prime minister thinks he’s going to start sending agencies after provinces that had unanimous votes in their legislation … he may have his views. I believe he’s wrong with those views.”

The jurisdictional spat began when the Liberals created a temporary exemption to the carbon price for home heating oil.

This guy is out of control. Trudeau is the single worse leader we’ve ever had

Nine years we've had to put up with this clowns corruption

NO MORE TRUDEAU

[michelgranger]

Threatening the people is never a good idea. Pissed-off people don't make threats; they act.

[Carole.B]

That's all he's got to threaten people. Instead of finding ways to lower taxes, to cut spending. No, all he's thinking is how to get more and more money even when people are struggling. Disgraceful tyrant.

[westcoastwoodsman]

So it's not a tax it's a rebate? But the CRA (taxman) collects it? Thats odd.

[ZenCorvus]

He is gonna punish and continue to punish all who oppose his nonsense

[JasonBelliveau]

So the carbon tax is a tax. I'm confused they keep saying its not a tax. We need more people like Premier Moe.

Does this mean that Moe Scott will be getting a phone call from "Bob Smith" from the "CRA" with a "warrant for his arrest "and he needs to go buy some gift cards from Walmart?

[robertphilibert]

Saskatchewan premier has my upmost respect, one of the few politicians that has any balls

[peterkornelson]

Kudos to Moe fighting back I hope the other Provinces do the same.
